    Time to try something new, the Movenpick Intenso Espresso coffee pod. The aroma is strong with earthy and grassy notes that were quite overpowering. The coffee had a wispy thin consistency with a very acidic taste. While there were vague hints of fruitiness, they were not pleasing to the palate. The earthy smell dominated every mouthful, making it an unpleasant experience. The coffee also had a weird chalky texture, which only added to the unpleasantness of the drink.

    If I tried really hard, I could detect a hint of something plummy or figgy, but that was really subtle. 0/5 - Unfortunately, I really didn't enjoy this one.

    The manufacturer markets this pod as a typical Italian Style Espresso, consisting of a blend of beans roasted to an intensity of 8/10. These are packaged in compostable "green caps" - I'm not sure if that could've contributed to any degradation in flavor, especially since the tops of the pod seemed to be permeable to air.

Roast Level: Dark
Dark roast coffee features a more intense, robust flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. Therefore, when selecting a dark roast, expect less acidity, a full body, and flavors like dark chocolate, smokiness, and a hint of bitterness.
Espresso
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans under high pressure. It is characterized by its rich flavor and distinctive crema, which is the creamy layer that forms on top of the extracted process. When evaluating espresso, coffee experts often focus on key tasting characteristics such as aroma, flavor, body, and aftertaste. Aroma refers to the fragrant smells released during brewing, while flavor encompasses the coffee's overall taste profile, including notes of sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and richness. Body refers to the coffee's texture or mouthfeel, with descriptors like full-bodied, medium-bodied, or light-bodied. Aftertaste, or the finish, pertains to the lingering flavors and sensations experienced after swallowing the coffee. A well-prepared espresso is prized for its balance and complexity, combining these sensory attributes into a harmonious whole.
